Well 1 out of 3 of my kiddos are asleep so I have just a few minutes to post about the amazing Christmas eve service our church had tonight. It has been many, many years since our whole church could worship together at one service (currently we have 4 Sunday worship services to accomdate everybody). In years past, we also had multiple Christmas Eve services where again, everyone is split up but this year we decided to do something different...we held our service outside at the local high school football/soccer stadium (that's for you Jones family) and over 2,000 showed up! We also had an 80 member choir that sounded glorious and did a fantastic job.
It was overcast & drizzle all day today and I must admit I was getting a little worried because we really didn't have a plan B. We were "all in" for the stadium but God's people started praying around 1pm and we all know what happens when God's people pray... ANYTHING can happen. So, a little before 4 the sun started to come out & the drizzle stopped! It was amazing as I was pulling in the high school there was car after car waiting to get in...it gave me chill bumps for sure!
The service was complete with a snow machine for all the kiddos!
Yes that is a naked baby you see! Madison insisted on bringing it and I am learning that there are just some battles not worth fighting. Anyway, I hope you have a great Christmas with family and friends. Enjoy your day and remember to thank God for the greatest gift of all...Jesus!
Happy Birthday Jesus.
